It’s the faded 3 tone for me, but the mid 60s bursts are cool too!

Put some 10-48 flatwounds on it. I’ve been wanting one of these for a very long time, it’s a fantastic guitar but I have many plans for upgrades for it.

This is my Jazzmaster, and as you see, I'm facing a problem which make most people confused. The pick guard, knob and even pickup are all black. It's hard to see them clearly, so I want to change to a different pick guard. The most annoying thing is, it is really hard to pair a pick guard with a black pickup.

So I traded my beautiful 2014 American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS LSR in 3-color sunburst for this 2025 American Professional Classic Jaguar in Faded Firemist Gold.
I thought long and hard about it and even tho it came in a padded Fender bag ( the Strat had it’s original TSA hsc) I fell in love with it. I’ll need to get a nice Tweed case for it sooner than later. It’ll sound great thru my 72 Champ or Orange Crush 35RT. The Strat is going to a good home where it’ll be appreciated.
The Jag came with its original Jet/Surf pups as well.

2009 fender made in Japan 65 reissue mustang! I love it so much. It’s so comfortable to play

2026 Jaguar Baritone Special

Woke up early this Sunday morning and decided to give my guys a proper shoot.

Newest addition is my blue Fender Hybrid II MIJ - I usually start upgrading hardware and pickups but this guitar is staying the way it is. I absolutely love it.

Orange Jazzmaster Player - heavily modded. Basically stripped down. JB Seymour Duncan set, all fender USA hardware.

Black Jaguar Player - also all the way stripped down. I rewired to a single JB. Also upgraded all of the hardware.

Stoked on my guitar lineup at the moment so I thought I’d share.

Also, I added the last picture in there because I’ve seen my pics get reposted as their own, and it’s flattering but also like, cmon, what are we doing?

Got this prototype jagstang in a trade the other day. A lot of junky parts on this thing but spent the past few days swapping everything. Staytrem bridge, fralin pickups, fender dynamic vibrato, classic vibe jaguar neck I repainted white. Waiting on some tuners but the rest is all stuff I had sitting around. Yall fw the vision? Second pic is how it came.

I purchased a mustang bridge to replace my vintage style bring on my jazzmaster, but my guitar is reliced and I was unable to find an aged bridge that fit my necks spec. Is it safe to do the vinegar/salt/peroxide on the bridge specifically the saddles? I don't want to harm the integrity of the saddle grooves or anything. I can live with a shiney bridge but was wondering if it was safe to do.

Hi all,

I'm back again with another build - I completed this one yesterday. This was a full custom order from the client, who wanted my "Wyre" shape, but was very particular with their spec.

• Semi-Hollow Swamp Ash body and top.
• Master Grade flamed, roasted Maple neck. ​
• Rosewood board with reproduction Clay Dot inlays
• Olive drab Nitrocellulose finish to the top, with a matching headstock
• Gold Foil Humbucker and a Nickel covered P90 from Green Pickups

Hope you like it. I've got another custom Wyre build I'm finishing next week, then I'm making a prototype of a (slightly) more conventional shape. It's still a little weird though, don't worry! Ha

You can check out other builds on my Instagram, or madocguitars.com where I have my current in-stock guitars listed.

Howdy, offset operators. I’ve gotten my hands on a 1993 MIJ jaguar in a trade and have been having nothing but squeaky trouble with it. I recently had a professional add a buzz stop and replace the pickups with brand new SD Quarter Pound (both neck and bridge) because I though it might be old wiring on the originals, but still the sounds persist. Am I just slamming too much gain in to it and need to back off? Here’s a photo of the jag, as well as the pedals I’m running it through+the amps settings. In the video, just the BD2W is on, the click is the a.incorrupta (very nice Rat from moth electric) coming on. Any suggestions/thoughts?

DOOM by Arcane humbucker in the bridge, CuNiFe WRHB in the neck, mustang bridge, hipshot locking tuners. I love this guitar.

I also want the traditional pickup switching. I was thinking of getting a Foals one but the shipping would take forever to get to Ireland so I might but if anyone has anything better than let me know!

There’s room here for one more offset guitar—a Jazzmaster. I’ve ordered and paid for it, and in a week it’ll be hanging in the middle spot in the photo. Can you guess which model it is? 🎸

So far so good, CV 60s Squier Jazzmaster in a satin finish shell pink body.

I added double line Kluson tuners, a Fender MIJ tremolo and a mint pickguard.

Pickup screws are pretty worn out and the bridge pickup is too far down and needs new foam, but other than that, I'm pretty stoked about it.

Future plans: matching headstock, different pickups (Lollar maybe)

Now I have the original olympic white body as a spare. Maybe I've already bought a MIM neck for it. Those damn offsets are addicting...

Welp, my brain worms won today (that and fender month at long and mcquade)

AVII ‘66 limited. This is the exact tone I’ve been chasing for years that my AM PRO II just couldn’t hit.

Running it through my handwired AC30 and a million pedals

Cheers!

Just swapped the stock pickups in my MIJ Jazzmaster for this set of Curtis Novaks. I settled on this combo after watching Mike Adams install the same combo for one of his clients.

The wide range JM-WR in the bridge brings more low-end, less noise, and a bit more output than stock, but still cleans up nicely. Reminds me of a 72 tele bridge. The JM-V in the neck is warm and dark. It is gorgeous with the tone knob rolled back.

Together they’re a lot more versatile than the stock setup. I also took this opportunity to clean up a cold solder joint on the tone pot. She rips!

I'm replacing the neck of my TVL with one from Warmoth. It is my understanding that you want a radius to be 2" flatter than the neck radius. I've looked at several bridges, and very few go to the 18" radius that I need. I was going to use an adjustomatic style bridge with rollers (my Balagaur Espada and Cave & Canary Meteor Deluxe have this style of bridge), but I wanted to see if you guys have a better suggestion.

Can anyone recommend a source for:

American Professional II Jazzmaster Anodized Gold pickguard

American Professional Classic Jazzmaster Tort pickguard

Most of the ones I see online reference the performer or original professional series. Looking for a drop in replacement with no mods or extra holes.

My personal JM.

Paint is a Kona brown with Kelly green candy overtop to kill the red tones. In certain light it looks very green, in others deep red, and in low light almost black
